i stayed here with my girlfriend and 6yr old daughter the hotel was very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing few days, good food, nice bar, pool, sauna, steam room etc, there is a kids club that runs twice a day, 10am till 12 noon then 7pm till 10pm, there is a charge of £5 per session and it was well worth it, my daughter loved every minute of it, colouring, swimming, baking etc, oh and dinner is included, the girls that run the kids club were lovely and cant do enough for the kids, they will even pick them up and drop back to their room all safe and sound, staff were very friendly throughout the hotel, reception, bar, resturaunt, spa etc, a very enjoyable stay!!

We have stayed here twice and we loved it. The Carlton Shearwater is an excellent spot to go and unwind, visit the spa, have a swim and enjoy delicious food. It is a new hotel so the rooms are very modern, clean and comfortable. The bar is large and perfect for couples with kids who want to enjoy some good food and a drink. But also big enough that if you don't have kids you won't be surrounded by them. We have went with and without kids and both times it was a lovely experience. There is little to see around Loughrea itself, but its nice to just take a stroll through the market town. (There are a few historical sights within a half hour drive). Choose this hotel if your trip is all about experiencing a nice hotel!!

My husband and I attended a family wedding on 06 August 2010 and were very impressed with the high standard of the hotel. The meal was top class as was the service. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was self service and was very tasty. We were very impressed with the fresh fruit salad and the mushrooms. We are attending another wedding there on 04 September 2010 - looking forward to it already.
